Was it good? Shoe-ah. It was killa. However, it was wicked hard getting around town cause I didn’t have a cah. Plus, everywhere I went there was another gahkablahka. The traffic was hoopie. Overall the conference was nizza. I saw Nicholas Negroponte speak about the <a href="http://laptop.org/" title="One Laptop per Child">One Laptop per Child program</a>. All I have to say is man that guys a bomah! I mean wicked smart. Anyway the plane is about to board and I need some suppa.

The interview consist of three questions about the work I&#8217;m doing at <a href="http://qlusters.com/" title="Qlusters">Qlusters</a> to invent a new future for systems management. While I’m not sure why the word invent is in quotes, they asked a few very good questions. My favorite was <em>“A customer has been quoted as saying that openQRM could become the open standard for data center management. Is that something you are actively seeking for the platform — standardization?”</em>.</p> <p>Well, as I said, we can&#8217;t worry about that. Standardization is conferred by community adoption of a project over a very long period of time. Right now I’m just focused on delivering on the promises I’ve made to the community. If you’re so inclined, you can <a href="http://www.itbusinessedge.com/item/?ci=13966">read the interview online</a>.

My thanks go out to Dimo Calovski, the Economic Affairs Officer at the Palais des Nations in Geneva who <a href="http://whurley.com/pdfs/united_nations.pdf" title="United Nations letter">notified me of the report</a>. He was kind enough to mail me an official copy for my library. Being included in the report was a bit of a surprise. However it just goes to show that the issues <a href="http://symbiot.com/" title="Symbiot">Symbiot</a> brought into the limelight are pervasive and global. Speaking of which, I’ll have an update to post soon on the latest development in the countermeasures controversy and the search for community centric security.

It was a fairly strait forward interview that I did 90% of from the <a href="http://blog.whurley.com/2006/02/15/can-a-leopard-change-its-spots-i-think-so/" title="OSBC 2006">OSBC conference</a> in San Francisco. The article discusses the release of openQRM to the open source community. However, there is a point into that I would like to debate on a panel at some point in the future.</p> <p>A research manager at International Data Corporation (IDC), says “many companies are not concerned with licensing and access to source code”. In my humble opinion this is “old world” thinking. I can’t think of one company deploying software today that doesn’t have legal counsel review the license agreement. As far as the access to source code…well in my world that’s prerequisite.
